Trail Overview

From the trailhead off of HWY 145, the trail starts an immediate climb up a gnarly tight single track that is riddled with roots, rocks, and boulders. The trail climbs constantly up towards Calico Peak. This trail is not for beginners. It's pretty darn tough from start to finish. When wet, portions of the trail are super slick and nearly impassable. Don't ride alone.

May 31 - gorgeous single-track trail through the aspens. Many, many logs down so jumps and lifting over large fallen trees is required. Not for the faint of heart
